People: Pablo Hoffman opened this bug: "[1764761] Decimal comparison with None fails in Windows".
It's not a Decimal problem, see the differente behaviour of this basic test in Linux and Windows: Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May 2 2007, 16:56:35) [GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2 >>> class C(object): ... def __cmp__(self, other): ... return NotImplemented ... >>> c = C() >>> print c < None False >>> print NotImplemented < None False Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 >>> class C(object): def __cmp__(self, other): return NotImplemented >>> c = C() >>> print c < None True >>> print NotImplemented < None False Here's where I stop: don't know where to keep looking... Does somebody know why is a difference here? Furthermore, we can check that is a problem regarding __cmp__: >>> class C(object): def __cmp__(self, other): return NotImplemented def m(self): return NotImplemented >>> c = C() >>> print c < None True >>> print c.m() < None False This is not the first time I find an issue through Decimal regarding NotImplemented, there was this thread: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-December/059046.html , but I don't know if that's a separate issue or not. Thanks for your help! -- .
